wade - yes i got your pm - can't thank you enough for all the great ideas! and iron gave me the low down on missouri, dakota on well...the dakotas & beyond. y'all are awesome!!

and i can now tell you i am the proud owner of a 24 foot camper as of yesterday! i'm tellin ya i can't even sleep i'm so damn excited!! we'll pull it behind my expedition (another recent purchase) so we'll be hittin the road soon my friends. no we didn't win the lottery - we have about $8,000 in both units. it's helpful to have a hubby in the vehicle business. auto auctions are the way to go!!

right now we're deciding between going to the st. louis area, possibly des moines, or bloomington, in for vacation. without everyone's help i don't know how long it would've taken me to narrow it down to those 3 so again, thanks a million guys!!!

If you go to St. Louis, don't miss Busch Gardens.

And if you want to get a bit of history almost no one except Wash U grads seemingly knows about, check out the "east quad" of Washington University (immediately to the west of Forest Park).

Forest Park was home to the 1904 World's Fair, and the east quad (now Brookings Hall, Cupples Hall, and I forget the other two) was built for the Fair. It's what colleges ought to look like.

(Unfortunately, its not what colleges ought to cost: tuition alone has passed 40,000/year, though being a pretty rich university (it's t-shirts call Harvard the "Wash U of the East") that doesn't live and die by tuition revenues, this gets discounted a fair amount.)

I have a soft spot for Wash U -- I almost went to college, and did go to law school there (even with zero financial aid, I paid well less for the full three years than the estimated annual cost of $63K!). But I couldnt go there now.

There also used to be a fabulous pizza place right across the street from that same corner of Forest Park called Talayna's and a high-end restaurant farther west on Lindbergh called, I kid you not, "Wade's: A Gathering Place". Wade's is gone now, and so is the original Talayna's alas. I believe there's several of them scattered about the city -- original was known for bad service, great pizza (especially thin crust, before thin crust became a foodie thing). Was also place where I discovered fettucine alfredo.

One of most famous family-type restaurants is a place called "Mama's." It's on "The Hill" (may even be called "Mama's on the Hill", I can't remember) -- which is this old Italian neighborhood. Supposedly the birth of "toasted ravioli".
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Anyway......vacation in northern Wisconsin on just about any lake. My folks took us for a week or two every summer. Best vacation you can have, if you ask me.

I've been to every state in the Union except Alaska, Hawaii, Arkansas and Mississippi. My favourite places to vacation in the US are DC, New Orleans, Chicago (Bears fans notwithstanding) and Northern California (Napa and Sonoma). Favourite vacation spot in the world is the South of France by far.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
